Elizabeth Prettejohn wrote that this artist's figures appeared "undercharacterized" and lack interest in their surroundings. One such work depicts a woman with a peacock-feather design on her dress as she leans on a wall near a swan and a butterfly; that is his Odalisque. A solemn-looking man in a green cloak appears before a child carrying a wreath of flowers in his Dante in Exile, and he did illustrations for George Eliot's Romola. A winged figure raises his fist at the edge of a cliff in one of his paintings, while a nude sea creature sensually clutches a man on some rocks in another. This painter of Daedalus and Icarus and (*) The Fisherman and the Syren depicted a sleeping woman in an orange dress sprawled on a couch in another work. For 10 points, identify this English painter of Flaming June.
